SN 121,835 C 20
A little diversion.
SN 121, 835, CHE 20/26 damascus. 12 made, maybe 4 known remaining. In A&F case with A&F marked oil bottle, snap caps and ebony cleaning rod.
Will be shooting Kansas pheasant and quail with it again. Dunkle can fire away, as I have a case of Federal 6's and Morris Baker even gave a box of RST paper 71/2's to see if they work. The gun is choked .006 and .022. The order sheet shows RH 120 and LH 200 at 3/4oz 8's. I will shoot the RST 3/4oz loads in it for targets but for hunting but I don't seem to reload 3/4 worth a darn, so I either load 7/8 or buy the Feds or buy RST's when I see Morris.
The gun was sold originally to Tryon in Philadelphia and was owned by Bill Wheeler for many years.
I don't own some of the nicer newer looking guns like that 28ga, so I suppose this will have to do. With a recent Bernard small bore acquisition, I have all that I need or want. I thought about having the case leather redyed and polishing the brass, but I suppose I'll just leave things the way they are.
